Nollywood actress, Yetunde Barnabas has accused Ajefunke Kofoshi of misleading the public about their dispute, insisting that Kofoshi was arrested rather than merely invited.

Barnabas reacted after Kofoshi shared a video of them together and claimed that she was invited by the police.

In an earlier post, Barnabas said the matter had been taken up legally and that Kofoshi had been asked to remove allegedly defamatory posts about her and her work and issue a public apology via video.

Barnabas later said they had “finally faced off legally” and that she had decided to let the matter go for the sake of peace, subject to certain conditions.

However, Kofoshi’s account prompted another response from Barnabas, who maintained that her critic had been arrested and had pleaded for forgiveness.

“You were picked up and arrested; you begged and admitted your wrongdoing and begged me, so I let it go for the sake of peace because there’s nothing in this life,” Barnabas wrote.

She also claimed that Kofoshi had asked her to make a video about the dispute and that she agreed after cautioning her against insulting others.

“Do not mislead the public,” Barnabas added.

Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham has faced criticism on social media following the circulation of an alleged leaked audio conversation with a TikTok fan, Bisgold, in which she reportedly laughed over remarks about fellow actresses, Funke Akindele and Iyabo Ojo.

The 12-minute recording was reportedly released by blogger Mama Esabod and has sparked reactions over Abraham’s responses to comments made about her colleagues.

In the audio, conducted mainly in Yoruba and Pidgin English, Bisgold was heard repeatedly insulting Akindele, while Abraham appeared to listen and laugh rather than caution the fan.

The conversation also touched on Iyabo Ojo, Bisgold reportedly said Ojo had been unable to move past an earlier incident, prompting Abraham to laugh and agree that she had not gotten over it.

The recording has drawn criticism from social media users, with some questioning Abraham’s boundaries with fans and her reaction to the remarks about fellow entertainers.

One commenter, WhoKnowsyezt, wrote: “Toyin no just get sense olohun. See how you’re comfortable with a FAN. Gosshhhh.”

Fifi Efretuei said: “Not a fan of either of them but seems this lady can’t learn a simple lesson of setting boundaries. she talks too much.”

Another user, Prince Ademola Salami, wrote: “She no geh sense. I still prefer Funke Akindele to her. Funke is filled with good energy. She’s a double faced person and a f^ck!ng pretender.”

Abraham also spoke about actors, Itele and Kemity in the recording, alleging that some people who claim to support her use fake accounts to attack others. 

She described Kemity as someone she regards as a daughter.

Nollywood actor, Timini Egbuson, has opened up about his change of attitude towards YouTube movies, joking that he might have faced financial difficulties if he had continued to look down on productions made for the video-sharing platform.

The actor shared his thoughts in a post on X, where he admitted that he once looked down on YouTube movies.

“Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now,” he wrote.

His comment has sparked conversations about the growing acceptance of YouTube movies in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, as more actors and filmmakers explore the platform as a source of income and a means of reaching wider audiences.

Egbuson, who has featured in YouTube movie productions, has increasingly embraced the platform, expanding his presence beyond traditional Nollywood cinema and mainstream streaming productions.

For years, many actors and filmmakers have prioritised cinema releases and major streaming platforms, often considering them more prestigious and financially rewarding than movies released directly on YouTube.

However, the growing popularity of online films is gradually changing that perception, with YouTube providing filmmakers with an alternative avenue to distribute their content and generate revenue.

The shift has also gained momentum as some Nigerian filmmakers increasingly turn to YouTube amid changes in the operations of international streaming platforms, which have affected opportunities for local productions.

Egbuson’s remarks highlight how changing industry realities and the need for financial sustainability are encouraging entertainers to explore opportunities they might previously have overlooked.

Popular Nigerian content creator and streamer, Peller has revealed that he would rather masturbate than cheat on his wife.

Speaking about an experience in Barbados, Peller disclosed that his wife once caught him masturbating, a moment he said left him shocked.

His comments have sparked conversations about fidelity, sexual boundaries in marriage, and whether masturbation can be an alternative to infidelity when couples are temporarily unable to engage in marital intimacy.
